Being 'politically correct' has nothing to do with what language is tolerated on TBN. TBN is a
Family Friendly Site. If you visit the TBN
About Us page you will see the following. Note specifically the fifth point.
A Family Friendly Site
In December, 2001, TractorByNet.com was recognized by FamilyFriendlySites.com, a leading reviewer of website content, as a "Family Friendly Site" with content suitable for viewers of all ages. TractorByNet.com met (and must continue to meet to maintain the recognition) a set of strict guidelines for recognition:
1. No adult-themed or sexually explicit text, images, or photographs.
2. Maintains an advertising policy that rejects advertising for alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and pornography.
3. Does not promote hate, violence or discrimination in any way
4. Does not promote any illegal substances or activities
5. Posts and enforces rules in discussion forums to prohibit sexually explicit language, profanity, and remarks that disparage or ridicule others.
6. Links only to sites that share the intent of being family-friendly.
When someone joins TBN, they agree to abide by the
TBN Terms of Service. One of these rules is;
2. Publish, post, distribute or disseminate any defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful material or information.
There's an automatic filter that catches most of the common profanities. We moderators have a responsibility to deal with the 'masked' profanity in order to help keep TBN a Family Friendly Site. While we can't catch every attempt to get around the filters (why people do this is beyond me, particularly given the Terms of Service they agreed to), when we find it, we deal with it.
By the way, here's the definition of 'politically correct' from
dictionary.com
politically correct
adj. Abbr. PC
Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
As you can see, it's got nothing to do with 'political correctness' (regardless of the definition of this phrase) and everything to do with keeping TBN a Family Friendly Site and each person living up to their TBN membership responsibilities.
